i am telling you when i went to aquatic treasures and got him he was that way. that is why i bought him it was unusual .my lights before the halide were t5s. i have never had weak lighting. do i need to take pics of them to prove it as well. ive had "him" for 5+ months. and why would the other btas i have not be effected if it was just "him" im not going to argue because i am here and you are not ..and im also not stupid. i know what i see. i put these up here for people to see the brilliant colors etc. not for you to analyze.

Look I really admire your aquarium, but regardless if hes that white and is "unusual" And I dont think you are stupid, you are just slightly biased, you see white, completely on the anemone. So I am just informing you that the "unusual" color of your anemone may be rather pretty, but that particular color on a BTA is not good. I understand it has been there for 5 months, living happily. But I urge you, watch it, and beware. And also, one other comment, Aquatic Treasures is a fish STORE they sell their commodities. They may have sold the anemone to you because they wanted the money. Or... maybe not. But BEAUTIFUL AQUARIUM i do truly admire you work.

it is doing fine and i do watch it every single day, more then: well everytime i pass it. he does fine. if i was worried i would say i was worried .im not thanks for your complements.
oh ! and it actually is not all white it has a green tinge look and a mother of pearl look with hints of brown and pink.. the thing is it likes so stay in that rock so the pic do not reflect that

Well shrinking isnt always bad, sometimes it means he is pooping, but hopefully he will turn greener, and clowns love anemones wether thyre bleached or not.

I dont understand why your getting upset when people are telling you that your anemone is bleached, they're just trying to help. It is def bleached, which means that it is not healthy.
Thanks for posting your photos, but I would be working on getting that anemone colored back up.

Hey, try this, buy a bottle of zooxanthealle, its online somewhere, and mix it with some mysis shrimp, and squirt it into the anemones mouth.
